Three farmworkers of the former President Olusegun Obasanjo’s Farm have been recused by the Nigerian Police, Ogun Command, from their kidnappers’ den, three days after they were abducted.
The Police Spokesperson, Abimbola Oyeyemi, made this known to the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) in Abeokuta, on Friday evening.
NAN reports that the Obasanjo Farm workers were kidnapped on Wednesday evening at Seseri Village while returning from work.
The farm is located in Kobape axis, Obafemi-Owode Local Government Area of the state.
Mr. Oyeyemi said that the release followed “a serious pressure mounted on the kidnappers”.
He said that the anti-kidnapping squad had been on the trail of the abductors.
According to him, the squad had continued combing bushes around the area since the incident happened.
“Yes, we mounted a lot of pressures on the kidnappers.
“Since yesterday (Thursday) our anti-kidnapping squad have been in the bush searching for them.
“They were able to trace them to the bush behind the Day Waterman College, along Kobape Road.
“This evening, they released them (victims) unhurt without any ransom,” he said.
When asked if there was an arrest, Mr. Oyeyemi said “not yet, but we are very sure that we will make arrests soon”.
